    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I posted this elsewhere, so I’ll post it here as well. Prior to yesterday’s game, I talked to an executive in the Dallas Mavericks organization who was in attendance. I asked him who he thought on the floor had potential to make the leap. Baye was the name he mentioned, so my next question was...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    And even then, I don’t know that it will be via a scholarship.

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    With the the refs being drunk and BC shooting 70% from deep in the second half, you get this type of outcome. It didn't help that we came out in the second half thinking that we had won the game with that run at the end of the first half. Agree with you though... That was some of the worst...

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    Like seeing folks in here looking for tix. Should be a good crowd. We’ve got 5 going, and you better believe that we’re ready to be loud. I’m with 33…I’m about to lay it down on the 1st half and the ML (-140). I suspect that we will come out and play well today!

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    GT will be a short favorite... Greg "Hoops" Peterson projects the line to be GT - 4.5 I suspect that you will see us compete from the opening tip tomorrow afternoon. They have an advantage in the paint, but we should be able to impose our will. Like most of our games this year, it is going to...

    Lance Terry to Sit out 2023-2024 Season

    He simply means that the addition of Lance to next years team is the equivalent of landing a high-level portal guy. I mean anything is possible, but I wouldn't look too far into this one.

    1/3 - MBB at FSU

    I'll bite... Are those teams more talented than Duke? What, it doesn't count when we beat someone we're not supposed to? It is sports bro, if you don't bring the fight, you are almost guaranteed to lose. I don't think anyone is debating that we didn't play like ****, so what is your point...

    1/3 - MBB at FSU

    Live ball turnovers are systemic??? What does that even mean? Turnovers are a direct result of poor decision making. Throwing it into traffic, trying to do much, make the HR pass, etc. The one thing you're right about is that is multiple players. That alone should tell you that it is a bigger...

    1/3 - MBB at FSU

    No offense, but there is some high level mental gymnastics going on here. Are you really going to try and pin our three losses solely on Miles? Anyone that has ever played the game knows its about WAY more than one player or even a handful of plays during a game. Take him off the team, and we...

    What exactly is a Kill Shot? You lost me on that one.

    Lance Terry to Sit out 2023-2024 Season

    Damon said in yesterday's press conference that Lance was a proven shooter, one the best defensive guards in the conference, and that he was a starter before the injury. A lot can change in a year, but he said that he is excited about coaching him next season. It's safe to say that they will...

    The 800lbs Gorilla ...

    I'd also argue that the growth in NIL has to do with the in-roads and relationships that Damon has built in the African American business community of Atlanta. I've seen him on Facebook, Twitter, and even LinkedIn meeting with influential business leaders in the city. James Forrest introduced...

    ACC 2023-2024

    I watched BC / Wake. Yes, it was excruciating but I had a $100 on the BC ML. Basically, Wake won it at the 3pt line shooting 47% (10/21). They’ve got 2-3 guys that can fill it up from deep, the LSU transfer Reid in the paint, and the Hildreth kid who I loathe. Talks way too much **** for me...

    ACC 2023-2024

    We know GT fans ain’t scared to bad mouth their team. Hell, we have some that still enjoy ****ting on our most recent ACC championship and back-to-back top 5 regular season finishes.

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    SMH.... Just because you think its a bad shot doesn't mean that it was a bad shot. The team is 8-4 (1-0 in the ACC) and playing relatively well for a young team with new pieces, and they're more exciting by any measure (except maybe yours). Why all the bitching and moaning and...

    ACC 2023-2024

    The UGA game was as much about the situation as talent. We came off two back-to-back wins and were fat / happy and juicy targets. Play again or put the A&M game in between, and I’d be willing to bet it’s a much different game. That said, I wouldn’t sleep on UGA hoops either. They’re rising as...

    As someone who supported Josh until the bitter end, this is when I began to believe that it was probably over!

    12/9: MBB vs Alabama A&M

    Anyone that has ever played knows that when your legs go, your shot goes. When you exert energy in other phases of the game, that you may not have had too in the past, it effects your shots.

    12/9: MBB vs Alabama A&M

    I disagree, I think that it told us a lot about what went on in practice prior to the game, and what Damon is trying to instill in the team. Being there live, there was a heightened sense of intensity from our team, from every player. Going to the boards, playing D, getting back on D, etc. It...
